ok, somethign changed in the 2.4.14, things still don't work but there
aren't solid hangs anymore:
The system boots and continues to boot which it didn't used to with the
cardbus option enabled.
It does throw up a bunch of "CIA machine check:" garbage but at least it
doesn't hang there anymore. It detects the first pcmcia socket, the 32bit
one, but for some reason does not catch the 2nd which is a 16 bit one.
2.4.13 and below found both. It no longer says; Hi I found a Ricoh
chipset either... I believe 2.4.13 and below did that as well.
the file 'new' which I have attached is the copy and paste from the
actual boot up.
Part 2, when you put a card in the detected slot {the 32 bit slot, but a
16bit PPI modem} it spams the console with more machine checks, and does a
more verbose dump to the dmesg.
I attached a section containing that as 'cardin'
Part 3, when you eject the card, see above...
Attached is the eject spam 'cardout'
I pulled the machine back apart and verified that the chip on the pcmcia
controller is a Ricoh R5C476II
